My recent TRAVELS

Well, I did it. I managed to survive the long plane ride to my beautiful destinations. I have not been to Europe since 1992, so you can imagine how overwhelmed I was! I was taking in so much information 23/7 that I thought my head would explode! We rented a car in Ireland and managed to put on over 1000 miles! We went everywhere! One of my sons organized the trip. He did an awesome job!We did day trips to London and Madrid. I have never walked so much for ages! I did manage to keep up. lol

My Dana Point Getaway

If you have a chance to get to Dana Point, CA…you will not be unhappy about your choice. The beaches are so inviting. The food is great. The people are so friendly. Everything is clean. There are many places to just sit and relax in private. If you feel like music, there are nice bars you can visit. I actually saw Charlie Sheen and spoke to him. Pretty cool, huh? Hope you are all well and happy. See you soon. Thanks for stopping in. This weekend I may head to my mountain house or Las Vegas. Tough choice. lol

Calabasas….The Commons*

I LOVE going to The Commons in Calabasas.  The Commons is a local shopping center that is designed to attract a lot of people who LOVE to spend money. lol You can watch a movie, go grocery shopping, pig out at your favorite food place, check at the books at Barnes & Noble, have coffee at Starbucks, and so much more! The Marmalade is one of my favorite places to meet friends for breakfast or lunch. I am not real big on dinner. Today I was hanging out with my friend Vivian when I decided to take some pictures near two of the little statues that are near the small pond there. I did not get to see the family of turtles today, so I will try to photo them next time. It is so much fun spending time with good friends. Thank you Vivian for taking such cool photos with your fancy phone. lol

Hope you are all having a good week. I will drop in asap. Until then, remember to smile and eat lots of dark chocolate. lol

Some Photos of my Road Trip*

Intel Museum

Stanford University

San Francisco

On our trip, we covered a lot of miles. We did not get to do everything, but we did enough! Northern California is beautiful this time of year. We were planning on going to the state Capital, but one of my sons was having trouble with allergies. We did get to visit Berkeley. It is a marvelous university. Stanford was very traditional and an amazing campus. We got to go to many places in San Francisco. My favorites were Chinatown and Pier 39. We ate a lot of good food! Our hotel was pretty well set up. Our friends were soooo glad to see us. It made the long car trip worthwhile to see their smiles! I believe that car trips are the best. You get to spend quality time with your family, and the kids can not escape! I am happy to be back. Hope to go on more trips soon!

Quote of the Day…5/1*

The 12-step chocoholics program:
NEVER BE MORE THAN 12 STEPS AWAY FROM CHOCOLATE!
Terry Moore

Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands – and then eat just one of the pieces Judith Viorst

Giving chocolate to others is an intimate form of communication, a sharing of deep, dark secrets Milton Zelman, publisher of “Chocolate News”

A chocolate in the mouth is worth two on the plate.

If it ain’t chocolate, it ain’t breakfast!

There’s nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE
Linda Grayson, “The Pickwick Papers”
